Location
This was taken in La Jolla California , they have a cool Hang Glider Port located above a Clothing optional State Beach. Hmmm.... no there was no nudest flying.Time
I took this photo around Magic/Golden Hour. About two Summers ago from this writing. The sky was full of hang-gliders that day, it was pretty neat to watch them flying free in the beautiful Sunset.Lighting
The golden sky was beautiful. The sun softened by the clouds it made a great natural background and captured the hang-gliders silhouette just right for the picture.Equipment
I used my Nikon D3100 handheld. I'm trying to remember what lens was used, I believe it was my 55-300 f5.6 from NikonInspiration
I like the sunset and how the pilot was just a shadow in the sky flying high above our Beautiful San Diego CoastlineEditing
No , no post work on this just some cropping off the sides.In my camera bag
In my bag I have the basics some memory cards, power cords and batteries chargers a few lenses like a 24-70 f2.8, 50 f1.8 and a 70-300 f 5.6 I believe lol I don't remember at the moment. My little DJI Spark wish it shot in RAW. A Nikon D300s, Nikon D3100 and a extra mobile phone to view my photos on since none of my cameras have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and it's a pain to open up my main mobile taking it out of the case powering it off ECT to switch Memory cards in and out of. What can I think of a rechargeable flashlight some business cards and that's about it, my tripod don't fit in my bag pack. When I can I like to keep it simple one camera body and lens to venture out.Feedback
Be there at the rite time for the exposure you are aiming for, this was shot about 2 Summers ago at Sunset, a telephoto lens worked great. The further the zoom the better. Happy Shooting everyone stay safe.
